ASUU president, Prof. Emmanuel Osodeke, insisted that the Act establishing the NUC should be amended to make it more potent in arresting excessive establishment of universities in Nigeria. He said: “In an enrollment of two million Nigerians, barely one per cent are in the university, while in some of these countries, they have over 25 per cent of their population in the university.”
Maiyaki said the NUC has identified strategic priorities that encompass curriculum development, quality assurance, research and innovation, infrastructure development, deeper information technology penetration, and internationalisation, among others, to ensure better outcomes from the Nigerian university system for national development.
He said the commission has also improved the guidelines on Open and Distance Learning programmes, ensuring integration and mainstreaming of e-learning into the conventional face-to-face modes of teaching and learning in Nigerian universities for “quality delivery and to keep pace with contemporary global best practices.”Before flagging, please keep in mind that Disqus does not moderate communities.
